[ID3 Dev] ID3v2.5

[Robert Manson]

Having the tag at the beginning of the file and no padding means that a
rewrite of the entire file will often be necessary if the tag is
modified.

        ---------------------------  -------------------------------

Changes (from ID3v2.4): 

 

    - no extended header

    - no padding

    - no footer

    - encoding is apply to all metadata (all frames)

    - all metadata are syncronized or codified in such format that this
will not alter   

      mp3 frames, including ID3v2.5 Metadata Identifier

    - there is only text and objects (binary) frames, put in it what you
wont and name it  

      how you wont. For text frames will be apply metadata encoding, for
binary not.

    - structure version (tag version), will be in ID3v2.5 Identifier.

    - encoding is applying only on frames, text frames!

    - no tag restrictions

    - no syncsafe integers, no!

ID3v2.5 Frame:

 

    Full Frame Size

    Frame Name (at end is a null terminated char, so frame name is not
fixed)

    IsBinary

    Content

 

 

Thats all, from my perspective. Simplicity is a good thing, is you think
that thi is a good idea or not please comment. Anyway i thinking about
sizes... and native frames.
